Unfortunatly http 500 is a Generic error code that basically means that something went wrong at the serverside. You would need to analyze your webserver logs for more information. It may also help to turn OFF "show friendly HTTP error messages" in your IE browser. This may give you more info on the error including the line number that had the error.

If you can give us a URL to the installation then we may be able to see the error's and give more advise. But in this case the error code itself is not enough information to go on.

the problem is the old jet stuff that doesn't work with 2008 server. and i didn't quite figure out the "Provider" change (or where to change it) until I read more and more and found the accessdatabase engine update

Unfortuneately Spamfilter does use the UDL file. and to your point, yes, i have used the database steps, and that is, of course here you select the UDL file to read. The error is Provider not found when using a PROVIDER that Server 2008 Recognizes for the Web based part of the equation.

Do you have Server 2008 R2 with Spamfilter (access database) running and the Web Quarantine interface working?
